Why the Transition to Digital is "Required" in Fashion
All Industries evolve along a relatively steady and customary technology advancement curve
- Impossible - It can’t be done
- Impractical - The technology exists but who has that kind of time/money
- Common - Anybody can utilize the technology in their business
- Required - If you haven’t adopted the solution then you may be headed out of business
For the design and manufacturing of textiles and fashions, 3D digital design and patterning are the new technologies that are rapidly moving up the curve from “common” to “required.”

Determining How and When to make the Transition
As your company contemplates the transition it’s always important to review the key benefits associated with the change. In this case the transition to a 3D digital design, patterning and production process is required

- Because there’s really no other way to meet the ever-growing requirement for custom products vs the "one-size-fits all" approach of the past
- Because digital patterning is the only way to convert your precise 3D design into an accurate 2D pattern in minutes
- Because changes are inevitable, and digital processes make the consumption of changes simple and quick
Because your competitors have already moved to digital
3D design, digital patterning and digital driven manufacturing systems are now in mainstream production. Here are two examples as relates to apparel:
